Boosting MPs' salaries out of question, PM Hroisman says

The Cabinet of Ministers is not going to put amendments to the draft budget-2017 that are intended to increase the salaries of the deputies.

Censor.NET reports referring to Prime Minister Volodymyr Hroisman's Twitter page.

"Reasonable suggestions will be considered, but the offer to raise salaries to deputies will be rejected. Our priority is raising citizens' income," he wrote.

Earlier, Oct. 20, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a resolution on the conclusions and proposals to the draft law on state budget of Ukraine for 2017 (No. 5000-P), providing for an increase in MPs' wages.
